“I love the world of magic, and to be able to bring that to a contemporary audience through `The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ was really appealing to me,” says producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
From Walt Disney Studios, Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub comes an innovative and epic adventure about a sorcerer and his hapless apprentice who are swept into the center of an ancient conflict between good and evil.
Watch Nicolas Cage play the role of Balthazar Blake, the master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina).
Realizing he can’t do it alone, Cage recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, but nonetheless reluctant. The sorcerer gives his crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners pit their powers against those of the fiercest practitioners of all time. It’ll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes `the sorcerer’s apprentice.’
Nicolas Cage as the Sorcerer
Although the film isn’t a remake of the classic Disney piece from “Fantasia,” “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” pays proper homage to it.The new sorcerer and his apprentice are different from Mickey and the blue hat with a contemporary approach on the ancient art of sorcery.
Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” opens in SM Cinemas nationwide on Thursday, July 15.
